In the Rain

'Musician in the Rain' by Robert Doisneau 

World drowned in the fog.
No lights. No colors. Grey.
Though…spirits mingle,
ascended,
the masters of non-STOP-
able creation,
they capture changes
in the air
with single
raindrop.

Wet canvas come to live
on cue,
the distant train
picks up the p- a- c- e…
What city’s beckoning
in view?
What cast’s partaking
divine test?

The cloaks keep hearts
from humid stream,
the music trembles
on the edge,
disclosed by swelling
buds of dream, -
to all who trust
their own sage.

  11. Sometimes it does seem like the world is drowned in fog. I have experienced those days. But then it IS nice when the warm canvass comes to life. Love the 'buds of dream' in the last stanza as well. All dreams, I think, start as buds....and then they flower into reality. Thanks for your thoughtful comment on my "Mirrors" poem this morning! Smiles.
